Disney’s most mispronounced name of evil is back in the live action film Maleficent, as Angelina Jolie stars as the terrifying witch that places a dark curse on Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. In this latest trailer from Disney, those of us who are too old and crotchety to remember this fairy tale are reminded of just how evil and manipulative Maleficent can be with her sexy goth stripper looks and seemingly pleasant disposition, before she breaks out the evil magic that tries to stop Prince Phillip from awakening his one true love.

You know, a lot of people believe that Maleficent is Disney’s greatest villain, but I’m going to play my contrarian card and cast my vote for Ma Beagle. Not only did she prove to be a constant thorn in the side of Scrooge McDuck – she even succeeded in stealing his entire fortune one time – but she raised seven dog children to become criminals as well. What’s worse is that she always looked out for herself and avoided prison while her Beagle Boys ended up in jail. Maleficent didn’t ever breed, which really makes me question her commitment to evil. Ma Beagle > Maleficent all day.

Whoops, hit the post button too soon. Anyway, of all the Disney villains, they pick one that makes for yet another generic medieval fantasy. Go with Jafar, Ursela or maybe Scar . Not only do you avoid another Snow White and the Huntsman, but people nowadays actually remember those movies.

All of Disney movies were violent. We never think much of it as “bad” because it’s cartoon.! Everyone use to say “Oh, it’s just a cartoon.” So we watch and see the Fox get out Foxed and get killed over and over by the Road Runner.. How violent is that!! It was never explained why the Villains and Villainess become why they are what they ultimately become. It’s interesting to know why Maleficent has become what she is. And who would be the best Person to do that but Angelina. Who was ridiculed and laughed at, and hated ” the Brad and Jennifer fiasco”] for years and still is! To some people she represented “Evil” for years, yet after through all that we’re finding that she isn’t so bad after all.! In fact she turned herself into doing heroic things for people who need assurances that there are good things in this world. So to criticize and belittle her efforts is kind’a wicked, don’t you think, “The OxSaysHisThing???
